2000 Chevrolet Corvette

Asking Price Range

Estimated MPG

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

MyYellow Big Bird

by Bill from WI | March 29, 2015

I have owned several sports cars, two corvettes ( 74' T-Top, 96' Convertible ), a Mercedes 380 SL, and a BMW Z4, and now my 00' vette convertible. If I had to rate comfort of ride It would be 1st Mercedes, 2nd BMW and 3rd my 00' vette, but my 00' corvette would be rated number 1 as fun to drive.
I think the sleek style of the C5 surpasses any of my previous cars. The performance, acceleration and handling are excellent.
I purchase it used with 40k on the speedo. It was a one owner car with all the maintenance records from the dealership. The car looks and rides like a brand new car, even with 40k.
The car is a blast to drive.

Best Value available in a sports car!

by Money Man from Philadelphia, Pa | October 22, 2014

I have owned my 2000 convert for over a year. Had 16K miles on it now has 22K miles on it. Have had no problems at all with it. Gas mileage is unbelievable for this kind of car. 18 mpg city if drive hard and 22 mpg hwy. If drive like a normal driver you will get 22 mpg city and 28 to 30 mpg hwy. Comfortable for a sports car. Very low getting in and out. Be careful going over bumps. Maintenance is very low. Uses synthetic oil and premium gas other than that very inexpensive to maintain. Oh and insurance is $300 a year for full coverage! What a surprise that was! This is only good for an extra car not a daily driver-unless you are young and single. Don't wait pick one up you won't be sorry. I also have mustang convertibles while I love them this is so much more fun to drive. P.S. I bought my corvette because it was cheaper than the mustang convertible I was looking for. Not disappointed!

Check for battery acid leaks!!!

by Robert K. from Wisconsin Rapids, WI | February 28, 2014

Common and VERY EXPENSIVE problem with this model is the factory battery posts break off and acid leaks. Unfortunately below the battery is the wiring harness, vacuum hoses, PCM, and TCM. That's a $6,000 repair job if the acid wasn't immediately neutralized and cleaned up. CHECK FOR THIS WHEN YOU LOOK AT ANY USED C5!!! THE SELLER ISN'T GOING TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION! LOOK FOR WHITE RESIDUE FROM CORROSION, ETC...

Mid Life Crisis , Bucket list or Too Much fun?

by Old School Rush from Phoenix, Arizona | July 12, 2013

So.. do your home work, use the corvette forum, drive some cars, figure out your budget, its a 2 person car, its not a Lexus, Cadillac, Its tough to get in and out of. Its limited to what it can carry. The quality of the interior dash board, not some much. Reliability on GM stuff , hit and miss..But wait, when you put the car in gear and drive all of that goes away! The car roars down the road, The FRC's hard top Coupes later became the Z06 because they handled like they were on rails. Put good expensive tires on it. Change the oil and drive it!
The car is fun to drive the speed limit with. 5&6th gear are over drives, if you can keep your foot out of the firewall, you can get 28-30 MPG. Use car fax, find a used one that has not had 5-9 owners. This car with an aftermarket exhaust, air induction system and different exhaust comes to life, power wise. Don't go cheap on fixing things. In 2000 this car booked at $40,000 dollars double what the normal price was. Check to make sure the battery didn't leek acid onto the computer underneath it. Walk away from the deal if it did! Better still take to a qualified mechanic before buying it. If you buy it correctly you can be driving a late model for less than 1/2 of what it sold for. Corvette fever catch it!

2000 Corvette

by Ship from Southwestern Indiana | December 20, 2012

If you want a fun car or live where there is not much of a winter and are looking for a commuter car I believe the C5 Corvettes are some of the best values available. You can purchase these cars for less than half their sticker price and with less than 50k miles on them. What a deal for such a car. They give you performance and with a few mods can get over 30 MPG on the Hwy. Also, if you take care of them they are never going to be worth nothing. They have such a large following, there are corvette clubs everywhere and they are an American icon. All in all these are wonderful cars. Every day I drive mine I feel as if I am driving a dream.

2000 Vette is a Blast to Drive

by JdiJoe from Toronto | December 11, 2012

This is my second corvette and i am very pleased. The performance alone is worth the money and then some. This is a great American sports car and in years to come will prove to be one of the greatest values in the market. I highly recommend this car to anyone that wants a "super car" on a budget. Well done Chevrolet.

Everday ride

by midwest madness from St Louis | December 8, 2012

This is a car that I drive everday to work and school and with the proper tires and use of your brain you can drive this car everyday. Comfortable because the suspension doesn't shake your kidneys loose get 24 mpg wicked fast if you need it and convertible top that folds easily. Best looking car on the road and a great value after someone else has taken the depreciation hit.
